    Maya Angelou
    “When Great Trees Fall

    When great trees fall,
    rocks on distant hills shudder,
    lions hunker down
    in tall grasses,
    and even elephants
    lumber after safety.

    When great trees fall
    in forests,
    small things recoil into silence,
    their senses
    eroded beyond fear.

    When great souls die,
    the air around us becomes
    light, rare, sterile.
    We breathe, briefly.
    Our eyes, briefly,
    see with
    a hurtful clarity.
    Our memory, suddenly sharpened,
    examines,
    gnaws on kind words
    unsaid,
    promised walks
    never taken.

    Great souls die and
    our reality, bound to
    them, takes leave of us.
    Our souls,
    dependent upon their
    nurture,
    now shrink, wizened.
    Our minds, formed
    and informed by their
    radiance,
    fall away.
    We are not so much maddened
    as reduced to the unutterable ignorance
    of dark, cold
    caves.

    And when great souls die,
    after a period peace blooms,
    slowly and always
    irregularly. Spaces fill
    with a kind of
    soothing electric vibration.
    Our senses, restored, never
    to be the same, whisper to us.
    They existed. They existed.
    We can be. Be and be
    better. For they existed.”
    Maya Angelou

  • #9
    Charles Dickens
    “I wish you to know that you have been the last dream of my soul.”
    Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

  • #10
    Douglas Coupland
    “I don't deserve a soul, yet I still have one. I know because it hurts.”
    Douglas Coupland, The Gum Thief

  • #11
    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.”
    Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Angel's Game

  • #12
    Ayn Rand
    “To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that's much harder?”
    Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead

  • #13
    “I feel like a part of my soul has loved you since the beginning of everything.
    Maybe we’re from the same star.”
    Emery Allen

  • #14
    Christopher Hitchens
    “We owe a huge debt to Galileo for emancipating us all from the stupid belief in an Earth-centered or man-centered (let alone God-centered) system. He quite literally taught us our place and allowed us to go on to make extraordinary advances in knowledge.”
    Christopher Hitchens

  • #15

    Becky Albertalli
    “I believe in love at first sight. Fate, the universe, all of it. But not how you’re thinking. I don’t mean it in the 'our souls were split and you’re my other half forever and ever' sort of way. I just think you’re mean to meet some people. I think the universe nudges them into your path. Even on random Monday afternoons in July. Even at the post office.”
    Becky Albertalli, What If It's Us

    Louisa May Alcott, Jo's Boys

    Jessica Maria Tuccelli, Glow

  • #22
    “Let truth be told. The more we allow water to be controlled, bottled and sold — the more we sell the security of our sons, daughters and souls. He who controls the water, controls us all. Water is the true gold.”
    Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

    L.M. Montgomery
    “I read somewhere once that souls were like flowers,' said Priscilla.
    'Then your soul is a golden narcissus,' said Anne, 'and Diana's is like a red, red rose. Jane's is an apple blossom, pink and wholesome and sweet.'
    'And your own is a white violet, with purple streaks in its heart,' finished Priscilla.”
    L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

  • #24
    L.M. Montgomery
    “I wonder what a soul…a person's soul…would look like,' said Priscilla dreamily.
    'Like that, I should think,' answered Anne, pointing to a radiance of sifted sunlight streaming through a birch tree. 'Only with shape and features of course. I like to fancy souls as being made of light. And some are all shot through with rosy stains and quivers…and some have a soft glitter like moonlight on the sea…and some are pale and transparent like mist at dawn.”
    L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

  • #25
    “Split second glimpses into souls are all I have managed to find.”
    Soren Narnia, Tyrant, Draw Thy Sword

    Anton Treuer
    “. . . we are souls. We have bodies, which are just temporary houses for our souls. . .The body is a container.”
    Anton Treuer, Everything You Wanted to Know About Indians But Were Afraid to Ask: Young Readers Edition

  • #27
    Adam Weishaupt
    “Many people have difficulty contemplating the human soul. They think that an immortal, massless entity with no dimensions that exists outside space and time is inherently preposterous. But they are perfectly willing to accept the existence of light. Yet what is light? Einstein’s special theory of relativity says that it is an immortal, massless entity with no dimensions that exists outside space and time. Hasn’t the penny dropped yet? Since Einstein, we have had scientific proof, verified by countless experiments, that something completely uncontroversial and unquestioned – light – has exactly the “physical” attributes commonly assigned to the soul. So, is it any longer tenable to assert that the concept of the soul is scientifically ridiculous? If it is then the concept of light must be equally ridiculous. If we took one further step of attributing mind to light, the theory of light would become the theory of souls.”
    Adam Weishaupt, The Illuminati's Six Dimensional Universe

  • #28
    Sara Wolf
    “That’s what a soul is: a root. It’s memories and love and feelings. And that can’t be destroyed. I promised you then and I promise you now—no one is ever really gone.”
    Sara Wolf, Send Me Their Souls

  • #29
    Silvia Moreno-Garcia
    “Do not sell him your soul and you'll be fine," he said laconically.
    "That sounds simple," she replied, with a tad of a bite to the words.
    "It is," he said, either not registering the sarcasm in her voice or not caring.”
    Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Gods of Jade and Shadow

    David Nicholls
    “in real life, souls don’t meet, they just wander about”
    David Nicholls, Us
